Nadia
Precedió al fin la noche huérfana. Astros,
Sombras, náufragos monumentales,
Vagos e impasibles, efigies corales
Cuyo enigma esconden sin dejar rastros.
Antes de posarse insoportable peso
De la primaria sombra, armonía inaugural,
Canto taciturno del primer río mortal
Tronó en el Abismo, todavía ileso
(Solo: Espinosa)
Debió de ser antes, aquel nefasto día
En que fue el hombre, anónimo apatrida
Solemne, cuya vida corrompida
Arrastraba exegeta con su afonía.
Y no pudo reconocerse en un Roble,
Una acacia, un pino, las verdes mansiones
No era su juicio el de sus ilusiones!
Vagar informe, sin destino, gesta noble.
Precedió al fin la noche huérfana. Vino
Ciego, el destino secreto ignoraría
Inscrito en el firmamento. Caligrafía
Del desaliento, esbozo móviles del camino.
Empieza a contarse el paso de las horas.
Pues muchos hombres vanos mueren y huyen,
Nacen, viven, vacío dilema intuyen.
Se pierden, naufragan, forastera ánfora.
"Ay, Nefastos Dioses de Antaño!
Por qué me abandonasteis en esta tierra de Nadie?
Para qué llegar a esta orilla virgen
A inventar patrias bajo la guía de los astros?"
Su lamento se convirtió en su camino.
Así marchamos en la primera Aurora,
Nombramos indiferentes la tierra de Nadie.
Prometedoras se erguían las montañas,
Solitarias como nuestro espíritu.
Vanidosas sombras ajenas a nuestra lengua.
Nombramos indiferentes la tierra de Nadie,
Antes de la primera noche,
Antes del principio.
Nadia
Finally the orphan night preceded. Stars,
Shadows, monumental castaways.
Vague and restless, coral effigies
Whose riddle they hide without a trace
Before the settling of unbearable weight
From primordial shadow, inaugural harmony
The taciturn song of the first mortal river
Thundered in the Abyss, yet unharmed
(Lead: Espinosa)
It must have been before, that terrible day
In which man went, nameless and flagless
Solemn, whose corrupted life
He dragged as an exegete along with his dysphonia
And he could not recognize himself in an Oak
An acacia, a pine, those green mansions
It was not his judgment that of his illusions
To wander shapeless, devoid of fate, a noble quest
Finally the orphan night preceded. He came
Blind, the secret destiny to ignore
Carved into the welkin. Calligraphy
Of disillusion, moving sketches of the path
The passage of time begins to be counted.
For many vain men die and flee,
They’re born, they live, sensing an empty dilemma
They’re lost, shipwrecked, foreign amphora
“Oh, ye awful Gods of eons lost!
Why have you abandoned me in this land of no one?
Why reach this virgin shore
To fashion nations under guidance of the stars?”
Their lament became their path
Thus we marched at the first Aurora
Named indifferent to this land of no one.
Promising stood the mountains,
Solitary as our spirits.
Vain shadows foreign to our tongue.
Named indifferent to this land of no one,
Before the first night,
Before the beginning.
Everyone knows there's a lot of high-quality metal from Finland, and this album is no exception. Its old-school vibe paired with catchy grooves make it very listenable on any occasion, and the awesome songwriting with lots of interesting details keep it far away from ever becoming boring.

Outstanding death metal with blackened touches. For those who dig Beherit, Cryptopsy or Demoncy, check out this LP. Much of this LP owes its brilliance to those who went before; that is, this artist does not deny metal traditions. But there is no pre-fabricated art here, as there is a strong, unique vision in all of the songwriting. The riffs all make sense in their given context; there's nothing that seems superfluous. Very highly recommended listening. Look forward to more from Blood Urn! Wow! xhrl_
This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
